Nice bike. Was regarded as the ideal tourer back then for vacations (camping) where other bikes were often much too weighty. If you want to preserve the exhausts, abstain from short rides. I know somebody who has the same model. After every ride when it is parked in the garage, he has an abandoned vacuum cleaner that is always standby on the spot to suck them dry in a few seconds. These were beautiful exhausts and impressingly silent. I am always much more impressed by a silent bike than a loud one. Check if there are any small drain holes at the lowest point. When not, I'd consider drilling them, because most of these exhausts will rot from the inside. BTW, what are Excel rims?
